Atrial fibrillation (AF), the most common cardiac arrhyt
hmia.
AF increases with age, occurs in 8% of people over 80,
and causes a third of all strokes.
AF can cause or exacerbate heart failure.

1. APD:action potential duration; AFCl: AF cycle length; θ: conduction velocity;WL: wave length.2. in plasma samples isolated from patients with acute myocardial infarction, ca
rdiac myocyte-associated mature miR-1, miR-208b and -499 were greatly elevated when compared with controls
3. These findings suggest that miR-24 has a critical role in cardiac fibroblast function and cardiac fibrosis after MI through a furin–TGF-β pathway. MicroRNA-24 Regulates Cardiac Fibrosis after Myocardial Infarction

FIGURE 1. miRNAs implicated in cardiac fibrosis. Different injuries to the heart induce hypertrophy and fibrosis at least in part by microRNA-mediated mechanisms. Upregulation of miR-21 in fibroblasts downregulates Spry1, which derepresses ERK/MAP kinase signaling and results in enhanced fibroblast survival and extracellular matrix deposition. Downregulation of PTEN by miR-21 in fibroblasts may increase matrix metalloproteinase-2 expression. Downregulation of miR-29 in fibroblast may simulate fibrosis by enhanced collagen and fibrillin expression, whereas miR-30 downregulation derepresses CTGF expression, a powerful stimulator of cardiac fibrosis. CTGF expression is also increased in cardiomyocytes after downregulation of miR-133. miR-590 downregulation in cardiomyocytes increases TGF beta expression, which is also linked to fibrosis by stimulating CTGF expression by downregulation of miR-30 and miR-133 expression. Secretion of FGF-2 by fibroblasts may stimulate cardiomyocyte hypertrophy.

5 and 50 nmol/L kg (i.v.) nicotine yielded blood levels of 50 and500 nmol/L, respectively, at 1 h after administration (administrated for 30 days).
It has been shown that the average blood concentration of nicotine in regular smokers is 220 nmol/L and that the level can reach 440 nmol/L after consumption of a single cigarette

Model showing positive regulation of immediate-early TGF-ß signaling resulting in the induction of ECM. LTBP/LAP = latent TGF-ß binding protein; SBE = Smad binding element; TGF-ßR = TGF-ß receptor; TFBE = transcription factor binding element, whose identity depends on the identity of the TGF-ß-responsive promoter, P = phosphorylated protein. LTBP/LAPs are cleaved from latent TGF-ß, releasing active TGF-ß. TGF-ß then binds to TGF-ßR I and II. TGF-ßRI phosphorylates Smad3, which binds to Smad4. The resultant complex migrates into the nucleus to interact with the SBE and basal transcription factors binding to the TFBE. Activity of the Smad/basal transcription factor complex is modified by other signaling cascades depending on the promoter of interest. The net result is the induction of gene expression, including the elevated expression of genes encoding extracellular matrix. For details, see text._art;1>
